In the past 24 hours, major electric motorbike rental providers in Da Nang, such as Selex Motors and their partners, officially completed the addition of 15 new automated battery swapping stations along Vo Nguyen Giap Street and near the base of Son Tra Peninsula. The battery-swapping trend completely addresses tourists' anxiety over battery depletion. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours to charge, travelers spend just 2 minutes scanning a QR code to swap for a fully charged battery. Operating 24/7, this system ensures uninterrupted journeys to attractions like Linh Ung Pagoda, Ban Co Peak, or trips to Hoi An Ancient Town.
Leading electric motorbike rental companies in Da Nang have launched a series of green tourism promotional offers starting this week. Customers renting motorbikes for 3 days or more via mobile apps receive a 20% discount on total bills, along with an 'Unlimited Battery Swap' package during the rental period. Rental rates currently range between 120,000 VND and 180,000 VND per day depending on the model (such as VinFast Feliz S, Dat Bike Weaver 200, or Selex Camel). Free battery swapping allows tourists to save up to 40% on travel costs compared to renting traditional gasoline motorbikes.
Technical experts and rental providers have released vital operating guidelines for tourists riding electric motorbikes in Da Nang. When navigating steep terrains such as the Son Tra Peninsula or Hai Van Pass, tourists are advised to choose electric motorbikes equipped with mid-drive motors or actual power outputs exceeding 3000W. Crucial downhill tips include leveraging Regenerative Braking systems, which safely slow down the vehicle while recovering power back into the battery, preventing continuous braking that overheats the brake discs.
More than 50 hotels and accommodation providers in Ngu Hanh Son and Son Tra districts signed partnerships with electric motorbike providers to offer hotel lobby pick-up and drop-off services. Tourists no longer need to visit rental points; they can book via an app and have a 100% fully charged bike delivered within 15 minutes. This service includes 24/7 roadside assistance within a 20km radius of central Da Nang, providing complete peace of mind for domestic and international travelers.
Recent statistics from the Da Nang Department of Tourism and transportation enterprises indicate that the proportion of tourists selecting electric motorbikes as their primary personal transport increased by 35% compared to the same period last year. The combination of widespread battery-swapping infrastructure across the city and a smooth, emission-free, quiet riding experience makes electric motorbikes the top choice for Gen Z and international travelers. Battery-swapping electric motorbikes are confirming their leadership through convenience, optimized costs, and contributing to Da Nang's sustainable green city vision.
